Wing scaling question

6,375 Phoza  5.6 years ago

So my knowledge is that scaling wings with the fine tuner mod doesn't affect their aerodynamics. This allows for planes to have realistic handling and not use the ugly blocky look of the default wings. The problem is that when I scale my wings, the aerodynamics goes all wacky. Was there an update or something that changed how scale of aerodynamics? Or am I doing something wrong?
Here's a link to the plane I'm testing this on.

    Scaled wings do affect the aerodynamics. I posted a test on that awhile back. What happens is that while the wing may look smaller, it still behaves like a big wing. So your plane might roll like it has a much longer wing-that is slow to respond.

    i mean the wing keeps how it flies but if you scale it down by half make the mass 0.5 and maybe remove drag

    i think you also need to change the weight. a small wing with weight 3x its size wont work. but remember not to change the weight to zero that messes it up
